The rating has been downgraded to AA+ with negative outlook by Standard and Poors.
It seems that raising the debt ceiling wasn't enough. The predictions are that the first place that it will effect is mortgage and student loan intreats, among other things. I for one am glad they waited till after the marked closed Friday to make this information public. I would hate to have seen what would have happened if the news was delivered Friday morning, especially considering how the market tanked Thursday.

Grab your popcorn folks.....

Your kidding, it's been downgraded again since a few hours ago?

When will it stop?
